Miyavi recently opened up about taking the role in the movie, which was directed by Angelina Jolie.

“I wasn’t sure I was going to do this until I met Angie in Tokyo. She said she wanted to make something meaningful and it could be a bridge between America, Japan and other countries in conflict. This story could happen anywhere,” Miyavi shared to the Yahoo.

At the event, Chrisperformed a few songs, including the one he wrote for the movie, and joked with Oscar voters after his first of three songs.

“You’re free to leave now. Put your vote in, whatever you want to do. Or don’t. I don’t give a f–k. I’s not going to affect my life one bit. But it would be lovely,” Chris said (via THR). “I know that’s not really what you’re supposed to say!”

Angelina Jolie is all dolled up for an interview with Tom Brokaw at NBC studios on Friday (December 5) in New York City.

The 39-year-old actress wasn’t the only one doing press for her new directed flick Unbroken, the stars of the film – Garrett Hedlund, Jack O’Connell, and Miyavi also stopped by Huffington Post on the same day.

“It was surprising how much she trusted me, all of us, on the set,” Miyavi shared. “She was so determined. I was also surprised how skinny she got. You know, she was not eating much. I felt so bad I was the only one who got fat during filming.” Watch the video below!

Unbroken‘s reviews are just coming in after screenings in Los Angeles earlier in the week and the critics are enjoying it! You can catch Unbroken when it hits theaters on December 25 in just a few weeks!
